Early Detection of Susceptibility to Acute Lung Inflammation by Molecular Imaging in Mice Exposed to Cigarette Smoke
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are extracellular proteolytic enzymes involved in acute lung inflammation in response to cigarette smoke exposure (CSE). We present the in vivo detection of MMP activity using a specific MMP-activatable, near-infrared, polymer-based proteolytic probe in strains of mi...
